Being gay these days pretty great, for many reasons. Almost all of my perceived downsides I felt growing up w.r.t social stigma/discrimination have been mostly eliminated in my day-to-day.

It's interesting as once those hot to attractive guys connect and chat with you a human connection is made and hooking up, becoming friends or becoming occasional sex buddies is highly likely.

Of course you need to show your face, so just send your best pics of yourself. I would say Im about average looking, but can take some above average looking pics.

I had a gay roommate who was very active on Grindr. He was reasonably attractive. Essentially, he could meet another man within an hour if he wanted too.
